Revenge of the Prom

[collisionwork]

Oh, hey, that short film by Daniel McKleinfeld that I acted in and lit and wrote about HERE and HERE and HERE -- it's up online as one of the finalists in the contest it was created for.

It's now called Revenge of the Prom. It's five minutes long or so (there's a six-minute version that's a little bit better, I think, but it had to be cut down for the contest). The main page for the contest is HERE.

So please check it out and vote for our little horror-comedy, if you so desire. Thank you. Won't you?

I'm a tag now?!?!?!? Crazy.

You know, I really am not sure if the five or six minute version is better. I do like the slightly longer version of the opening better, but for the kitchen scene... I dunno. Given the choice, I go with the longer version, partly because I enjoy the dialogue, and more importantly because I like having a bit more of a rest between the slasher scene and the director going crazy---it's nice getting a little time to see him as an actual director, no crazier than any other director in the midst of shooting.

But I can definitely see making a case for Faster Is Better---after all, if the plot *can* be sustained without the extra stuff, maybe it should be. Then again, I'm the guy who thinks the too-long-for-Romero cut of Dawn of the Dead is the best cut, so I may be arguing against myself here.

It turns out the film above yours in the contest, "My First Time," was also made by people I know. Specifically the actress in it was in my first play, "The Universe of Despair," at the American Living Room back in 1999; I'm sure you and many readers of this blog will remember it.

I'll have to watch both films now, and decide which deserves my vote.
